A Pratt man was injured in a tractor rollover at the SBC hog farm Saturday afternoon. The farm is located just west of the intersection of south U.S. 281 and 70th Street and is six miles south of Pratt.

David Dunsworth, 59 of Pratt, was mowing along the banks of a waste pond when his tractor rolled onto its right side by the edge of the pond, said Pratt County Sheriff Deputy Joe Ohler.

Dunsworth was injured but not trapped. However, his injury prevented him from walking and he lay at the side of the pond from approximately 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday when he was discovered. A rollover bar prevented the tractor from rolling completely over.

Pratt County EMS transported Dunsworth to Pratt Regional Medical Center. He was later transferred to Via Christi St. Francis Campus. No patient information is available.
